When silver lady midnight moon

Caresses sand and sea

I can hear her gently calling

A calling out to me

 

She is pushing me and pulling me

And luring me along

For she wants me in the ocean

Where she says, that I belong.

 

She wants me in the ocean

She wants me in the sea

She wants me neath the foaming

Rage so the waters cover me.

 

She lulls me with the rocking waves

And soothes me in the spray

Relaxing in her briny arms

She carries me away.

 

She draws me ever downward

Onto the ocean bed

I hear her softly sing her song

As the darkness fills my head

 I fall into a slumber

So deep I cannot wake

I cease all struggle for the breath

I do not wish take.

 

She whispers kindly to me

As I sink beneath the foam

She is soothing me

And calming me

For she wants to take me home.

 

When the waves are over me

And when I breathe no more

She will gently lift me upward

 And place me on the shore
